Kerri Shying R # 272 - Flu season


Flu season.

it was this long dream
during it I got up
cranky
took off a sweat soaked
pink flannelette pyjama

I was at a workshop
in Dungog  and with my son
his girlfriend and these others
who peeped like stage props
through the old boards of the
community hall

I left ten minutes earlier
than the bus that held the others

my wheelchair
 took on the back roads with
great vigour in the elbows which
before I went to bed
had been ablaze with hives

somewhere around Maitland
I got stuck
in a  tunnel    some small kids
helped me out

two ladies explained
the cupola of the  vast
Italian chapel and I thought
I’ll never make it home
